Report 2023-112: Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program: The California Department of Housing and Community Development Must Improve Its Oversight of the Program (Release Date: December 2023)
Recommendation for Legislative Action
To ensure that HCD has enough funding to effectively manage the program without accumulating excessive funds, the Legislature should amend state law to:
-Suspend the program's $10 per lot fee until the program's sunset date of January 1, 2027.
-Provide HCD authority to reinstate the $10 per lot fee for the duration of the program in the event HCD and the Department of Finance agree that the program fund can cover only six months of expenditures.
-Require HCD—in its annual report due on or before December 31, 2025—to report on the program's financial sustainability and justify any further revisions to the program fee.
Description of Legislative Action
